Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, is reportedly cooperating with Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, providing key information about the abuse in the Bureau.

Priestap was Peter Strzok’s immediate supervisor.

Approval - Strzok - Christopher - Steele - Dossier

His approval was needed to authorize Strzok to speak with Christopher Steele about the phony dossier or to make any payments to the former British spy.

Priestap’s name has been absent from the media coverage of the FBI scandal, but Utah Republican Congressman Chris Stewart — a member of the House Intelligence Committee — suggested on the Jeanine Pirro show on Fox News that his role will be more public in the future:

Lot - Bill - Priestap

“You’re going to be hearing a lot more on Bill Priestap.”

Priestap met with Nunes as he was preparing the famous memo documenting the process by which the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to spy on Trump adviser Carter Page.
